My friend Teresa and I, having arrived from Dublin, Ireland to Edinburgh, Scotland in the late afternoon, decided to check out a local pub right down the street from our Airbnb, called “The Grapes”.  When we first walked in, it was apparent we were outnumbered by the males, only seeing a couple of other females.  We bought a glass of beer because that’s what you do in Ireland and proceeded to talk to a few of the friendly looking men standing around also with beer in hand (well not in this photo).

As you can see they were quite friendly, posing with Teresa!  The DJ, who looked to be of Latin descent, was playing American 70’s music, so we decided to get the party started by dancing in the small area in front of him.  It was so much fun!  When the bartender saw me taking photos, she asked me what I was there for and I replied, “To have fun!”

I asked this gentleman to pose for a photo in front of the lady’s room and I swear he looks just like Popeye!

We only stayed an hour or two, but danced most of the time!  It was a great way to start our four-day adventure in Scotland!
